Ozonics-I know zero and care zero but a friend ask me so I’m asking y’all. I think he’s used it with uncertain results so likely wondering to try harder or give up. Good? Bad? Tricks? For archery.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

I don’t have anything good to say about them. Do they work? I can’t say for a fact but I couldn’t tell it helped me in the slightest so I tossed it in a drawer and stopped using it. In my personal opinion it’s a waste of time and more crap to keep up with for something that doesn’t seem to do anything.

I have one. I don't think it does much in a treestand. Now in a blind I think it does to some level.

I have used ozone in a clothes closet to help keep my Clothing as scent free as possible, but have never used it in the field…so take my input with that in mind.
I have seen the ads and heard the testimonials, and can say with no doubt i can get the same results “sometimes” without ozonics. We have to remember we do not hear every hinting story nor see the “failed” hunting experiences in any of the ads or stories, the people that promote this stuff are cherry picking the data.
With that in mind, i sat Saturday evening in a light shirt and pants (sitka heavywt hoodie and sitka ambush pants, ie not scentlok or windproof clothes) in a cooling evening, meaning the thermals were not great for an elevated stand, with swirling winds around 5mph and gusts to maybe 10, about 10-12 feet in a treestand and had deer coming in from all directions and even some deer directly under me with no idea i was there.
I sat the next am in a calm to very light breeze in a warming (meaning thermals were in my favor being elevated) with sitka stratus bibs and jacket on with a fanatic hoodie underneath and a jetstream beanie, ie windproof) in a stand that was not perfect but not terrible for the wind direction, and had deer at the feeder for hours and had deer come in directly down wind of me at 5 yards multiple times. Only one doe acted a little spooked but she never blew, she just ran past my line of scent but even the stopped beyond where i could have shot her had i wanted to.
In neither of these situations did i use any ozone in the field. I used clothes hung in an ozone closet, sprayed with scent blocker spray before i walked to the stand, and used evercalm deer scent (i only used that because the winds were not perfect either day). I make sure i am grossly still as much as possible in the stand (i will get my phone out and text or surf the internet or whatever, and even was actively texting my son when i heard some deer walking down wind of me in the am hunt above), and breathe through my nose the entire time. I had many deer within 20 yards of me for hours combined on both those hunts, could have shot any one of them i wanted, but was waiting for a dude to show up (there were some chumps that did tho).
Ozonics is in my mind not needed. Could it confuse a deer and give an extra second or few to make a shot or judge a deer? Sure, maybe.
Movement and mouth breathing bust a lot of archery hunters in my opinion. With the right wind, you can get away with a lot scent-wise. With the wrong wind, you will be busted more often than not.

Just as good as clear trolling motor props.

Waste of time and money. Even the idiots on TV hunting shows won't hunt certain stands because of bad wind direction, in spite of them hanging Ozonics all over the place and "spraying down" themselves with those ridiculous scent killers. It's proof people will buy and believe anything instead of learning how to hunt.
